Each journey comes to an end because God knows you did all you had to do. So He wanted you by His side. We're going to miss you but we're going to cherish the love you've goven the world. Love you enjoy your place in Heaven.

Dear family, I extend my sympathies to you. May your grieving hearts be comforted by the Beautiful and Loving Promise from God at Acts 24:15. May those words tell you that God has Gwendolyn in His Loving Memory and He will not forget her. Hope for the futre is written at Revelation 21:4...soon no more tears of grief.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Losing a dear loved one is not something you ever get used to; death is truly our worse enemy. Happily the Almighty God of comfort promises at Isaiah 25:8 that he's going to swallow up death forever and John 5:28, 29 says that we will get to see our loved ones again in the resurrection of life. I hope these words bring a measure of comfort and peace to you and your family during this difficult time. jw.org
